Pleasant

Ever since we heard the results from the ERA that my uterine lining has been pre-receptive, I've felt a relief about treatment, which translated to calmness in all other aspects of life. I don't feel rushed or pressured about transferring as quickly as possible, because I'm so hopeful that fixing the timing issue is the silver bullet that will help the next transfer. I know that the higher you hope the harder the fall, but I'm holding on to hope until proven otherwise. 

It's been pleasant not worrying as much. It's also helpful to know there's only one more night of shots before the biopsy. Those things are the worst and unless there's an embryo transfer it doesn't feel worth it. 

In other news, we got a new mattress!  It's a Stearns & Foster Tinsley Ultra Firm. It's the equivalent of a board of wood covered in a thin blanket. Very firm. I'm not a fan but my husband is thrilled, so everyone is happy. 

I've been feeling so bloated the past few days. I'm not sure if it's just the meds or my change of diet but it's been awful. I went clothes shopping this morning and ironically, I had actually gone down a size! So it's an internal feeling, not necessarily outwardly bloat - if that makes any sense.

ERA biopsy II is on Tuesday and I took off the morning. I'm supposed to work late that night but I may call out for that part of the day, depending on how I feel. I remember last time I took the whole day off but I didn't need it for physical pain, it was more like I was sad and feeling sorry for myself so taking the time to chill helped. I think I'm in a better headspace this time, but I'll play it by ear and see how things go.
